I shouldn't enjoy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" as much as I do.

Needless to say, a band whose name is best pronounced with three clicks of the tongue isn't interested in the mainstream. That's why eight-piece California dance rockers !!!, who recently released the acclaimed "Myth Takes" and will appear at Lollapalooza in August, named their band with three exclamation points (pronounced "chk-chk-chk," "boom-boom-boom" or any other trio of identical, monosyllabic sounds). It's why press photos present members as cardboard cutouts, which !!! says reflects distaste for all of the cookie-cutter acts in the music industry.

The ultra-cool George Clooney is even too cool for Christmas. The star spent the holiday at a resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

And what do you get the guy who has everything? Nothing. "We put up a Web site for all our buddies, and just said, 'Everybody has all you want,' and said 'What's your favorite charity?

Rosie O'Donnell is sorry for mocking spoken Chinese on "The View." But she can't promise it won't happen again. In a segment last week, O'Donnell joked about how Danny DeVito's recent--and seemingly drunken--appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news. "You know, you can imagine in China it's like 'ching chong, ching chong chong--Danny DeVito--ching ching chong chong chong--drunk--'The View'--ching chong.'" On Thursday's show, she said: "To say ching chong to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it's as bad as the n-word.

Rosie O'Donnell's mouth has gotten her into trouble--again. This time, it's with members of the Asian-American community who have demanded she apologize for mimicking the Chinese language. Talking last week on "The View" about Danny DeVito's famous appearance on the show, Rosie (right) said: "The fact is that it's news all over the world. That you know, you can imagine in China, it's like 'Ching chong ching ching ching chong--Danny DeVito--ching ching, chong, chong, chong--drunk--The View--ching chong.

An Asian-American media watchdog group is demanding an apology from Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar of "The View" for their recent on-air mimicking of the Chinese language. While referring to guest Danny DeVito's recent visit to their show, in which he appeared drunk, O'Donnell said: "The fact is that it's news all over the world! You can imagine in China, it's like, `Ching chong ching ching ching chong -- Danny DeVito -- ching ching chong chong chong -- drunk -- "The View" -- ching chong!

Samuel L. Jackson stars in two top dramas at January's Sundance Film Festival, while other key names announced Thursday in the event's celebrity-driven premieres include Lindsay Lohan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Penelope Cruz. The nation's top showcase for independent film, Sundance presents Jackson co-starring with Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake in writer-director Craig Brewer's "Black Snake Moan," about a blues musician who becomes the protector of an abused woman. Jackson also appears with Josh Hartnett, Teri Hatcher and Alan Alda in director Rod Lurie's "Resurrecting the Champ," about a sports reporter who discovers that a former champion boxer who had been presumed dead is living on the streets.

A day after an admittedly smashed Danny DeVito staggered onto "The View"--where he was bleeped for calling President Bush a naughty name--the show's hosts defended him and said they would welcome him back (though preferably sober). "We love him, we'll have him on again," Barbara Walters told her fellow co-hosts during their Thursday morning chat session. She added that DeVito had left a message for her almost immediately after his visit. DeVito acknowledged on the show Wednesday that he had spent the night partying with George Clooney.
